Summary:
Margarita is waiting for her mother to be done at the post office, so she says hi to everyone. Nobody waved back when she first said hi. She said hi to a man reading a newspaper, but he didn't respond. She said hi to three teenage girls, but they didn't hear her. She said hi to a mother and her crying baby, but the mother was too busy taking care of her baby to notice. She said hi less loudly to a boy bringing in packages, but he didn't hear her either. At last Margarita and her mother were at the front of the line. Margarita tried one last time and whispered hi to the post office lady, who smiled and said hi right to her.
Recommendations and Conflicts:
I recommend this book to all children, the only conflict I see in it is that Margarita is ignored by so many people.
Reaction:
This book shows that you just have to be persistent and somebody will respond to you.
